TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. 9.7 is the concentration of TSH in your blood.
ACTH is adrenocorticotropic hormone, responsible for stimulating the adrenal gland to produce cortisol. TSH is thyroid-stimulating hormone, which regulates the production of hormones by the thyroid gland.
is a 3.89 tsh level high?
Yes, a TSH of 1.08 is within the normal range.
As thyroxine levels increase the amount of TSH produced will decrease. On the other hand, when TSH levels increase the thyroxine levels will decrease. This is what causes the TSH/thyroxine levels to fluctuate.
Because TSH is a part of the body's negative feedback system which controls the thyroid's output of thyroid hormones, a DECREASE of TSH would indicate hypERthyroidism. An INCREASE of TSH indicates hypOthyroidism.
tsh goes down as thyroxine goes up.
No. An overproduction of TSH would cause hyperthyroidism.
is a tsh level of 0.61 overactive or underactive

TSH levels show ranges. For newborns TSH normal levels should be: 3.0-20 mIU/L. For adults up to age 60 TSH normal levels should be: <10 mIU/L For adults older than 60 TSH normal levels should be: Males: 2.0-7.3 mIU/L Females: 2.0-16.8 mIU/L
